Acute Kaposi sarcoma herpes virus (KSHV)-associated inflammatory diseases are under-recognized. We describe a woman with HIV presenting with disseminated KS and refractory shock, concerning for KSHV-associated inflammatory cytokine syndrome (KICS) versus multicentric Castelman’s disease (MCD). High-quality research and clinician education are needed to improve prognosis of patients with KSHV-associated diseases.
